Oh how sad.

Rest in Peace, Swittle. Thank you for all the kind comments over the years.

Our paths often crossed - in life and in running - but never met him in person. Despite that, I felt he was a friend and would always have a word of encouragement. Will be missed


This is so true for many of us R4R Lovely tribute

I met Switts a couple of times at races. He was as lovely in real life as he was on the threads. One of the most positive and encouraging people you could meet.

I canā€™t believe this. So sad. I thought Iā€™d meet him at a race or meet-up one day. I often posted on the listening thread and thought ā€œI bet Swittsā€™ll like this one.ā€ His warmth and enthusiasm for life really shone out in his posts on here. Iā€™ll really miss him.

I was genuinely shocked to read Fetchā€™s blog earlier. Swittle was a true gentleman, always friendly and so supportive. Heā€™ll be greatly missed.

Sad to hear. Lovely bloke, always a nice and encouraging comment for everyone.

About This Thread

Maintained by Lip Gloss
Never met him in person but always came across as a lovely man.

If you read about his nightly beach runs you could almost have been running along beside him.

He always encouraged others especially on the How was your run thread.

Hope all your beach run are still as perfect as they were while you were here xx

Funeral 5th April 1.30pm at the Thornton Garden of Rest, Lydiate Ln, Thornton, Liverpool L23 1TP
